Songtexte Only a Miner - Dawn McCarthy

Poor hard workin' miners, their troubles are great
So often while they're working, they meet a sad fate
Killed by some accident, there's no one to tell
Their mining's all over, poor miner, farewell
Oh, little miner killed under the ground
Oh, little miner, oh, one more is gone
Oh, little miner, oh, one more is gone
Leaving his wife and four children alone
Leaving his little ones out on the street
Tired, hungry, with nothing to eat
Mama is jobless, Papa is dead
We're coal miner's children beggin' for bread
Oh, little miner killed under the ground
Oh, little miner, oh, one more is gone
Oh, little miner, oh, one more is gone
Leaving his wife and four children alone
When I'm in Kentucky, so often I meet
Coal miner's children out on the street
"What are you doin' to them?" I have said
Coal miner's children beggin' for bread
Oh, little miner killed under the ground
Oh, little miner, oh, one more is gone
Oh, little miner, oh, one more is gone
Leaving his wife and four children alone
Their mining's all over
Poor miner, farewell
